Reply #8: I believe the posts you mention are meant to force the Dem Party to ACT.

I can talk of the situation in Ohio, where I am an activist with the election reform community. In January, the GOP thugs who control the OH legislature passed the suppressive HB 3, which includes several despicable attempts by the GOP to legitimize disenfranchisement. Right away election reformers called on the Dem Party and BOEs to issue VOTER IDs, so that low income, elderly and college students (DEM BASE) wouldn't be adversely effected by this legislation (btw...this will also cause a repeat of those long lines in DEM precincts when voters can't produce the proper ID (military ID and College IDs won't work).

We are self funded folks and certainly can't afford to tackle this project ourselves, so our goal is to raise attention to issues like this so the the Dems will be forced to protect their base voters.

One example as I have to run, but certainly you can't believe that those who are donating their time and own money for the cause of election reform want to stop people from voting. WE ARE TRYING TO PROTECT THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE AND TO INSURE THEIR VOTES ARE COUNTED!
